Chapter 1: A Well-Timed Delivery
It was a beautiful summer day as Emma rushed to get ready. As usual she was running late, and was honestly excited to hangout with Ashley and Jade. It had been a few weeks since they had last got together, not since their end of semester grad school study sessions a few months ago. As she was trying to decide which swimsuit to wear, she heard the door bell ring. She only remembered halfway to the door that she had ordered a magic sticker pack a few months ago, on a whim more than anything.
By the time she opened her front door, the delivery person and their delivery vehicle was already gone. "That is strange" Emma thought, wondering how they disappeared around the corner so quickly. She very quickly stopped wondering as she remembered what she was holding: The Dr Erotic's Mega Magic Sticker Variety Pack (TM). There had been some viral videos going around on social media with people demonstrating the various, clearly impossible, effects of these stickers. While she doubted they actually worked, she felt her cheeks flush with warmth as she imagined the (very slim) possibility that they actually worked a bit.
Though she was embarrassed by it, she had long been turned on by the idea of having someone be able to control her body and controlling other people's bodies. Ever since she could remember, she had been drawn to those types of stories and scenes in TV shows. In the overwhelming busyness of grad school, she had largely forgotten about her kink until one night Ashley, Jade, and her were watching Ella Enchanted after a study session. She had squirmed an embarrassing amount that night, though she was confident that neither of them noticed. It was at the end of that night, alone in the dark of her apartment, that Emma made a rather large impulse purchase: the Magic Sticker Mega-Variety Pack.
Perhaps inspired by the growing warmth in her cheeks, and other places, Emma rushed upstairs to throw on her sexy and tight one-piece shiny green swimsuit (that she thought showed exactly the right amount of sideboob). Throwing on some bike shorts and a tight t-shirt with a beautiful flower pattern, she ran back downstairs. She grabbed her bike, her backpack, and keys, and stepped out of the door.
There, on the doorstep, she hesitated for a moment. Feeling her cheeks flush again, she reached back into her apartment and grabbed Dr Erotic's Mega Magic Sticker Variety Pack (TM). Shoving the box into her backpack as she locked her door, she rationalized the action to herself. "I probably won't even mention it to Jade or Ashley... Plus they couldn't possibly work even if we did try them out." Feeling her breath quicken with the idea, she pushed it down and took off to Jade's house on her bike. "This is a great sunny day to go to a pool party with brilliant (and sexy) friends," Emma thought as she picked up speed on her bike.

Ashley
A comfortable silence had grown between Jade and I, as we waited with our legs in the pool. Not for the first time I found myself checking out Jade, who was wearing a rather sheer blue bikini. Her beautiful skin and recently grown out long blonde hair sparkling in the warm sunshine. I found myself staring as I marveled at how much Jade's hips and butt had filled out in the last few months. Jade had always been athletic, but second puberty was rather becoming on her. I could remember how awkward feeling and looking I was during my teen years, but here Jade was at 29 making it look both elegant and effortless. While her chest was rather small still, her hips and ass were becoming more and more remarkable each day (though they had always been great).
We often had to wait for Emma, but she was delightful (and sexy) enough to make it worthwhile. In this case, it was only another 20 minutes of poolside discussion with Jade before Emma could be heard making her way down the side path. Waving, Emma made her way poolside. I took in Emma's shiny green one-piece swimsuit as she took off her over-shirt and shorts. I could feel my heartbeat quicken as I saw how the green contrasted with Emma's beautiful blue eyes, and the way it hugged her not insignificant chest.
Excited to catch up, we began talking about our respective dissertation research projects, and occasionally slipped into gossiping about the grad students in our mid-sized university. After a long discussion and debate on the merits of post-qualitative research methods, the topic veered toward the rumors circulating about a group of grad students trying out a "magic" sticker pack and its effects.
"I have to imagine it was the drugs hitting a bit harder than normal," Jade said, adding, "There is no way stickers could affect your body like that."
"I have to imagine that they played up the effects for the story, you know how the arts-based research department is!" I said laughing.
Jade's and my critique of the story continued for a while, until I realized that Emma was very unusually quiet.
"What are your thoughts Em? You were the one that suggested we watch Ella Enchanted after all! You seemed pretty into the movie (I had some suspicions about that)!"
Emma stared into the gorgeous blue sky for a bit, before glancing over at her backpack. "Yah! It was a wild story... It seems like a lot of people are posting a lot of videos about it on social media though." Emma said quickly, adding, "You two are right, it probably doesn't work." As she said this, I noticed her glancing toward her backpack. She blushed then said "I must have drank too much tea, I am gonna run to the washroom." She got up, showing off her muscular legs and the high-cut bottom of her one-piece, and quickly ran into the house.
"That was an oddly simple conclusion for Emma. Do you think she is okay?" Jade asked, adding, "She seemed really into that Ella movie so I assumed she would want to discuss it further."
I glanced over at her backpack, noticing it was unusually full. Realizing it was a box, I started to formulate my own hypothesis about Emma's reaction. While I was tempted to open up the backpack to confirm my hunch, I decided to wait to ask Emma when she came back.
Chapter 3: Stick(ering) with the Third-Degree
Emma
I practically ran into the bathroom, feeling myself flush with a mixture of excitement and embarrassment. There was no way I could show them the Mega Variety Pack, they clearly thought it was all a scam.
"God, honestly I think it is likely a scam as well. What a stupid waste of $250!" I thought to myself as I looked into the mirror. As I started to gather my breath and awareness (maybe all the therapy was helping after all), I noticed my very prominent hard nipples straining against the shiny green fabric of the one piece swimsuit. I chuckled. "Well at least I got some enjoyment out of that $250. Oh well, I will just leave it in my backpack and not mention it." Feeling my resolve solidify and my heart stop racing I washed my face and headed back out to the pool.
As I sat down beside them, Ashley and Jade both checked in asking, "You okay Emma? You seem distant." I brushed off their concerns by quickly diving into the pool. As I swam laps, I noticed how much the pool water reflected off of Ashley's beautiful dark skin. Ashley had always been impossibly fit, but with a chest that could politely be described robust (emphasis on the roBUST). Her beautiful shiny silver one-piece swimsuit further enhanced her curves. It wasn't long before I caught my own reflection in Ashley's wrap-around sunglasses, making me painfully aware of how long I had been staring. As I turned to do another length of the pool, I thought I caught a smirk on Ashley's face. It was another 30 minutes of lengths before they broke the comfortable silence that had developed. Between breast strokes, Ashley lowered her glasses and asked, "So, what is in the box in your backpack?" A devious smile spread across her face.
In my surprise, I thoughtlessly answered, "Uhh a delivery."
Ashley gently pushed. "Oh, what is in said box?"
Taking too much time, the silence eating away at me, I sheepishly answered in a soft voice. "A sticker pack?"
Instantly Jade and Ashley dropped the idle things they were doing, turning their full attention to me. Their jaws were practically on the floor. There was a long silence. I could feel each beat of my heart as I got more and more worried. After an excruciating length of time Jade said something unexpected. Winking at Emma she said, "We are going to have to investigate this discovery!" To which Ashley agreed, replying "Science needs data after all!"
I was stunned, they were interested in trying out the sticker pack. Feeling my body respond, I started to imagine several possibilities as I swam over to them. I could feel my heart racing as I grabbed the box out of my backpack, turning toward them. Where I expected to see ridicule, I saw authentic excitement. Maybe this might be a great purchase after all.
